Introduction • Purpose • Improve the working relationship between the technical experts and the regulatory specialists, especially when it comes to critical technical issues • Scope • The group will review new regulatory changes or impending changes affecting 802.11 standards • Each meeting will focus on the most critical issue at the time • Critical Issue Focus • Direct impact on IEEE 802.11 current and future standards • Response/Input deadlines • Coordination with IEEE 802.18 (RR-TAG) • Coordination with the Wi-Fi Alliance • Outputs from this group must go through 802.18 Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team • What should be the outcome from the group? • Set of coexistence requirements for 802.11 in the 5 GHz band with ITS safety of life and property communications in the 5.9 GHz band • Form a group to provide a formal interface to other organizations in the automotive industry, NHTSA, DOT and other ITS players • What is the required milestone timeline • Dependent upon the FCC et al, progress on the rollout of the standards, technologies and laws • Outcome of experiments prior to rulemaking; proof of concepts • CAMP/DOT testing and validating • Updates [Jim] Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
FCC 14-30 Major Changes • U-NII-1 band (5150 to 5250 MHz) • Indoor restriction dropped • TX Power limits • Indoor: 1W conducted; 4W EIRP • Outdoor 250mW conducted; 1W EIRP with antenna restriction • U-NII-2 bands (5250 – 5350 and 5470 – 5725 MHz) • DFS detection increased to 100% of the bandwidth* • Updated the BIN 1 waveform • U-NII-3 band (5725 to 5825 MHz) • Extended by 25 MHz (to 5850 MHz) • Change from 15.407 limits to 15.247 limits • All U-NII bands • Require manufacturers to improve software security to prevent user modification of regulatory required parameters • No requirement to disable devices when modofications are made Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
Other Regulatory Updates • House Energy and Commerce Committee Republican leadership announced that they will start a multi-year process of considering changes to the Communications Act • Comments due April 25th • Globalstar TLPS NPRM • LTE-U Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
Any Other Actual Business • Plan going forward • Beijing update • No new DSRC Coexistence TT progress • Decided to not file a response to Globalstar NPRM • 5 GHz band activities update • Follow ETSI ERM and BRAN • TV bands auctions (FCC not convinced 2015 is solid) • Other Geo-location database opportunities (3.5 GHz soon) • Other dynamic spectrum allocation work • Dyspan meeting in April 1 – 4 in McClean, VA • Dynamic Spectrum Alliance meeting in Accra, Ghana in May Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
